I had a very elaborate post planned for today, but this silly little thing called life just had to get in the way. A flurry of job applications, meetings and a workout got the best of me, and it’s now the end of a very long Monday. Since I don’t want blogging to be a… Read more

Lebanese Potatoes with Garlic and Coriander
Serves 2
- 2 sweet potatoes, cubed*
- 1/2 cup fresh coriander, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- Juice of half a lemon
- Salt and pepper to season
- 2 tbsp olive oil
* Feel free to use white potatoes for a more traditional taste – although I assure you it’s just as delicious like this.
- Pre-heat your oven to 190 C /375 F.
- Toss potatoes with the garlic, coriander, salt, pepper and olive oil. Roast for about 20 minutes or until 3/4 done.
- Mix well making sure to turn the potatoes and squeeze in the lemon juice then roast until crispy.
Easy, peasy, perfect.
Served alongside some spinach socca and garlic roasted hummus. (Green and orange, kind of Halloween-y?)
What’s your favourite way to have sweet potatoes?
Any exciting halloween weekend plans or costumes?
Until next time!
